ROUND 2 TEAM ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bartel Out,Cripps Out

[The_Captain]

Why drop Lamb seriously?

Seems like a strange decision, should have given the kid his first up hit out on home turf!
Not even named as an emg, not good for his owners

From what I've heard... Due to the injury of brown, Tom lamb had to play more game time than originally planned. So it's more a resting than a dropping. But could be bullshower. I'll be leaving in team... They way we are going a few more injuries will happen and he will be in in no time!

If he doesn't train tomorrow then I will make arrangements but I can't see it being a problem if he's training with the main group. Draining fluid from the knee isn't as invasive as it sounds.

Yup, there are a couple of guys that get it done every week as bad as it sounds. As long as there is no structural damage it is not anything new. The training report tomorrow will be key. Worst case as I said in another thread, I leave some cash to turn Bellcho into Berger or if Jimmy misses worst case I can then trade him to Berger and shift Bellchambers to the forward line. Bartel's concussions are worrying me more then Bellchambers knee

Bellchambers named with no Giles in site. I would say if he trains alright tomorrow he will be fine.

Mckernan was named, this is my only concern however you would expect Giles to be the next in line considering they traded for him.

we gave up pretty much nothing for him

but i agree Giles would be named if they were worried they wouldn't let McKernan ruck solo well i hope not

TBC reported as having fluid drained from knee does not sound like someone that is anywhere close to 100% get ready for a late out

If he doesn't train tomorrow then I will make arrangements but I can't see it being a problem if he's training with the main group. Draining fluid from the knee isn't as invasive as it sounds.

He will train for sure but if his knee fills with fliud again can't see him playing but we won't know , he has a knee problem not good for a big man

We let Laycock ruck solo in the past. It's not beyond possibility McKernan being the sole ruck.

flowering lol his last game was 7 years ago why even bring him up

We've done some weird things with selections over the years and don't be surprised if we see another one.

Anyone going to training tomorrow?

From Scott's presser
- says Jimmy Bartel will be in the squad of 25 - early indications are he will be fine
- but unlikely to be decided until Sunday morning

Also said Motlop has been dropped this week after not meeting expectations :o

On or off the field?

Off

+1 JS for Cocky.

Thanks Motlop.  :-*

You know what this might mean??? SAMMY BLEEEEEEEAASE

Blease named in VFL side.
Mackie for Smedts
Murdoch for Motlop
GHS for Bartel if he misses.
Stanley or Gregson Sub I'd say.

Do we trade out Lamb now that he isn't playing? And who would be the best rookie to replace him? I'm thinking lamb to McGrath

If you can sit him at F8 with out copping a donut then you should hold him until you know what rookies are named for their 3rd game

[crowls]

Noooo not lamb :( I have basically no cover for jimmy now. Fml

still got Hogan

Seems like a strange decision, should have given the kid his first up hit out on home turf!

I thought Lamb looked good.   very disappointed.   Wasnt even on my radar for changing next week. 

[Woppa15]

Boy am I glad I stuck with the 'gut' and picked Lonie

[TexR74]

Griffen on the bench? Please tell me he's not a sub chance

[Mat0369]

Sub doesn't have to come from the bench

Yeh ok, that sounds reasonable then.

[Mat0369]

Any news on how Bellcho trained? There is a pic from about an hour ago on their twitter so the session is probably already done
